Any Last Minute Advice?
Tomorrow is my day. It's finally here. Last night I didn't sleep much; and I'm assuming tonight will be no different.
So, as I'm packing my overnight bag, and "nesting" around the house; it got me thinking . . .
What last minute advice do you have for me? Anything you wish you would have done? Any questions you wish you would have asked after surgery?
I still have to make that list up for hubby.
Oh, I'm having a fleur-de-lei w/ lbl; lipo of saddlebags and some fat injection around tailbone.
thanks for your insight.

I second the stool softeners... I started the day before and honestly, I was surprised it took my body as long as it did to produce but when it did, they made succccccch a difference! (In my case, surgery was Tuesday and I finally produced late Sunday afternoon!)
Do you have a lift for your toilet seat? If you can get an affordable one, it's worth it! I only used mine for a week but it really helped getting on and off the toilet.
Also, I took a protein shake to hospital with me - I was on post-op clears the first night and the next morning, we got cream of wheat and that was about it. It was stone cold and gross... I asked for 8 oz of milk and I added that to my pre-measured protein powder in my blender bottle... had the nurse shake it up for me and it was awesome to have that morning. Filled me up and set me on a great path to increasing my protein right away (and was still "clear" to help keep my bowels open).
I'll be watching for an update!!
